Cute Beast Food Garden

"The collection of wild ginseng is of course for the restaurant."

Together with Ah Jin, Si Dongmo carefully took out the wild ginseng from the bag and put them in the ingredients cabinet in the kitchen.

"It's the autumn harvest season soon, and I have to go back to the village." Si Dongmo fetched a basin of water and put the disheveled ginseng into the water to wash, "Before we leave, Qi Yan and I would like to Boss Lan will make another dish."

"Ginseng... What can you do with ginseng, wild ginseng chicken soup?"

Si Dongmo blinked, "Good idea."

Ah Jin said in surprise: "It's still hot now, and everyone in the town and the village has gone to eat cold vegetables and popsicles. Even in Fourteen restaurants, there are sweet-scented osmanthus yam paste, jelly cold noodles, snacks and so on. It’s the best. Those who are willing to drink chicken soup on a hot day are actually a small number of people, right?”

"We are thinking about researching this dish now. When the weather turns cold, Boss Lan will be able to sell it directly."

Si Dongmo weighed the heavy ginseng in his hand, "The ginseng in this season is the most plump, and this kind of thing has another advantage, that is, it can be preserved for a long time after being dug out, and it can even grow a little longer. Son. In addition to wild ginseng and chicken soup, there should be other ways, which are worth exploring.”

After roughly washing it, he picked up the white and fat ginseng and put them into the basket one by one.

"One ginseng, two ginseng...nine ginseng, ten...Eh, this is it?"

Counting to the tenth, Si Dongmo looked at the fiery red dumpling in his hand and was taken aback.

"Guji..."

The chubby little dumpling smacked its small mouth twice and narrowed its eyes.

"Little Fat Bird, when did you come in, huh?"

Si Dongmo couldn't laugh or cry seeing the little silly dumpling who suddenly entered.He put the bird on the edge of the pool, took up a little water with his hand, and poured it carefully on top of the bird's head.

"Gu... Guji Guji!"

The sleepy little bird was suddenly poured with water, and woke up with a jerk.It opened its big light blue eyes, and looked at the two men in front of it in a daze, the fluff on its body was sticking wetly.

"Guji?"

Beside, Ah Jin laughed out loud: "This little dumpling is so cute! Hahahaha..."

"Are you awake?" Si Dongmo bent down and continued to wash ginseng, "It's good to wake up, isn't it cool?"

Looking down at his wet little body, Bird realized that it was this man who did a good thing just now, and immediately puffed up with anger.

"Whoosh-"

A gigantic ball of fire erupted from the bird's tiny beak.The scorching flames went forward indomitably, and directly lit the man's sleeve.

"Wow!"

Si Dongmo reacted extremely quickly, without saying a word, he plunged into the water basin, soaking his entire upper body in it.A thin puff of smoke came out, and the sparks on the clothes were extinguished.He pulled himself out of the basin again.

Ah Jin, who saw the two of them interacting, was holding his stomach and quacking non-stop, almost dying of laughter: "Brother Mo, brother Mo, this is the first time I've seen you stumble when I grow up! A person as powerful as you, finally There is a 'nemesis' who can hold you down!"

After collecting the ginseng, the man pushed Ah Jin to the backyard: "Okay, okay, let's go to the cashier to pay the bill. I'm busy, so I won't send it away!"

"Oh, Brother Mo is really bad! If you are bullied by Xiaotuanzi, you can vent your anger on your brother... Huh, I won't play with you anymore, I'll go to Boss Lan!"

"I know that every time you rush to deliver the goods, isn't it just to get close to Boss Lan?"

"Brother Mo, you made a mistake here. What do you mean by 'making close'? Based on my friendship with Lan Damei, this is not called getting close, it's called reminiscing about the past, understand?"

Seeing Si Dongmo's face full of smiles, Ah Jin became anxious: "Brother Mo, what I said is true!"

Si Dongmo smiled perfunctorily: "Alright, really, really..."

With a "snap", Ah Jin was lightly patted on the shoulder.When he turned around, he saw a pair of charming peach blossom eyes.

"Lan, Boss Lan...!"

Ah Jin took two steps back in fright, and looked at Si Dongmo again.But the man just smiled and mouthed, "Are you scared?"

"Tch, it's not..."

After joking for a while, Boss Lan invited them back to the house for tea.While chatting, Ah Jin talked about what he had seen and heard when he came: "The largest restaurant in the town—Yuanshan Restaurant, just opened a new branch there. very."

"A branch?" Boss Lan seemed a little interested, "Is it in Luoxia Town?"

"It's not Luoxia Town, it's another town in Hongye County called Tianyun Town. However, the store in Luoxia Town is the largest and oldest, so a celebration was held here." Ah Jin Said, "Hey, speaking of it, Boss Lan—our restaurant is also very prosperous, and there are not enough seats in this room for the guests. Every time it's meal time, the dining hall is full, It was a bit crowded."

Boss Lan turned his face sideways and looked at him brightly: "Squeeze?"

Being stared straight at by the beauty, Ah Jin blushed a little, but he still nodded and said, "Squeeze, it's a little squeeze."

Boss Lan turned his face back and crossed the fingertips of both hands.

"Ah Jin is right. The house of our restaurant is indeed a bit small. This is not convenient and comfortable for customers who want to eat with peace of mind." Boss Lan thought, "This year, the restaurant has also accumulated some cash. Kim. Why don't we pick a date and fix up the restaurant and expand the space."

"Expand the restaurant?" Ah Jin was gearing up and excited, "Okay, good news! Our restaurant is finally getting bigger and bigger and more prosperous, not inferior to that Yuanshan Restaurant!"

"It's just an idea at the moment." Boss Lan patted his wrist lightly, "Ah Jin, don't worry. This matter needs to be discussed and prepared."

Ah Jin nodded his head like a woodpecker: "Yes, yes, I know that, everything has to be done step by step." As he said, he cupped his fists in a dignified manner: "I'm looking forward to Boss Lan's new restaurant!"

Boss Lan has always acted vigorously and resolutely.A few days later, he completed the paperwork for expanding the land in the government, and spent money to hire the best craftsmen in the town.The building structure of the restaurant itself is integrated and inseparable. Instead of knocking down the wall and rebuilding it, they re-expanded a floor of the room on the left and right sides of the restaurant, and then made a connection on the wall. The door openings connect the entire restaurant together.

After the expansion, the place in the store is indeed much more spacious.The guests who come to dine can finally have a good meal and chat without worrying about being hit on the head by passers-by.

When the expansion of the restaurant was gradually completed, the wild ginseng dishes that Si Dongmo and Qi Yan made to surprise Boss Lan were also freshly baked.Other restaurants in the town also make chicken soup with wild ginseng, but most of them slice wild ginseng and chestnuts and mix them in the soup like ordinary seasonings or side dishes, separate from the chicken.

But this time, Qi Yan improved the original dishes based on the memory of the Korean-style ginseng chicken soup he ate in his previous life.Instead of putting the ingredients in the soup and stewing with the chicken, they stuffed chestnuts, ginkgo and other nuts into the belly of the chicken before stewing the soup, and also incorporated a certain amount of glutinous rice.

After that, put the chicken stuffed with nuts and glutinous rice into the pot, and simmer slowly with wild ginseng and red dates for more than an hour to make a pot of chicken soup with a light fragrance, which makes the side dishes more flavorful. Penetrates deeply into the chicken.

However, when he tasted ginseng chicken soup in his previous life, Qi Yan felt that the chicken soup was delicious but too bland.In order to suit the tastes of the people in the town, he and Si Dongmo pondered for a long time, tried countless times, and finally adjusted the taste to the most suitable level of neither salty nor bland.

When the wild ginseng and chicken soup was served in front of Boss Lan, the beauty who was lazy just a moment ago was taken aback.He turned sideways from the swaying recliner, sniffed a few times, and then flew down to the ground, his movements were as nimble as a martial arts master in a novel.

"This this……"

Boss Lan was lying next to the crock pot of chicken soup, looking left and right, front and back, "this, this" for a long time, and finally slapped his hands suddenly, and said excitedly: "This is my ideal health-preserving diet-the best Perfect ginseng chicken!"

When Qi Yan first heard the last four words he said, he thought he had traveled back in time.He was relieved to find that Boss Lan was just staring at the chicken soup intently, sniffing the strong aroma of herbs, but was immediately held tightly by Boss Lan——

"Qi Yan," Boss Lan looked into the boy's eyes affectionately, and said softly, "You, it's you, Qi Yan—you discovered the ultimate secret of health-preserving diet!"

The young man who was awarded the highest praise by him tilted his head, his dark eyes were full of confusion.

"It's been six years, and I, Lan Shishi, have been thinking about it for six full years—this chicken soup is the most perfect work of health-preserving diet knowledge!"

Boss Lan looked at the wild ginseng and chicken soup excitedly, his tender eyes seemed to be able to melt the earthen pot where the soup was simmering.Qi Yan thought in shock, if Ah Jin was looked at by the beauty with such tender eyes, he would pass out in a gentle place, without knowing the taste of meat in March.

Si Dongmo stared blankly at Boss Lan. He was bewildered by the other party's overly excited behavior, so he could only watch Boss Lan circling around the chicken soup in a daze, feeling astonished.

The man sneaked a glance at Qi Yan with a little anxiety, and found that the young man looked calm and composed, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Boss Lan spoke highly of the chicken soup, and Qi Yan also knew that this was not his exaggeration.From the perspectives of taste and health, this chicken soup has reached a very good balance, and it is not in vain that he and Si Dongmo seasoned and tried again and again. They are all spent in the taste of chicken and wild ginseng, and the tongue is almost numb.

Moreover, for a little fat bird, the feeling of eating chicken soup every day is not very comfortable.Fortunately, Xiaotuanzi has gradually grown up now, from a fluffy chick to a little penguin with a height of nearly [-] centimeters. Although the body is still fat and the wings are still short, the difference from ordinary birds has widened. There is no longer a feeling of sameness.

Qi Yan used the aura accumulated in his own practice to protect and preserve the wild ginseng sent by Ah Jin, especially the wild ginseng doll - because it is white, fat and cute, and has baby-like facial features and expressions, Qi Yan couldn't bear to just cook this cute little fairy, so he simply raised it in Boss Lan's yard, and used the talisman paper given by the old ginseng guest to enclose a piece of land for it.

After the busy season of farming and in winter, they will come back to help make winter specials for Fourteen restaurants.

After packing their luggage, Qi Yan and Si Dongmo prepared to bid farewell to Boss Lan temporarily, end their food tour in Luoxia Town this summer, and return to Lezhuang to harvest the crops.However, this trip home is not destined to be so easy.

There are still two days before the deadline for Si Dongmo to return to the village.In the early morning of this day, there were not many customers in the restaurant, so Qi Yan still turned into a bird shape as usual, and stood outside the house at the snack window to sell snacks.

The cute chubby dumpling can always attract children who go out to the street for food early in the morning, and the door of the restaurant is full of customers who come to buy snacks, and there is a lot of noise and excitement.

However, just as it was struggling to roll up its small wings to pack roasted peanuts for small customers, a familiar thin figure appeared behind the crowd.

The little bird rounded his eyes.

It's Master Zhao!

He came down the street alone with his battered old knapsack.
